Product Information – Australia APO- Lercanidipine Tablets Page 1 APO-LERCANIDIPINE TABLETS NAME OF THE MEDICINE Lercanidipine Hydrochloride. Chemical Name: 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid, 1,4-dihydro-2, 6-dimethyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-2-[(3,3- diphenylpropyl)methylamino]-1,1-dimethylethyl methyl ester hydrochloride. Structural Formula: HCl Molecular Formula: C 36 H 42 ClN 3 O 6 Molecular Weight: 648.2 (free base: 611.7) CAS Registry Number: 132866-11-6 DESCRIPTION Lercanidipine is a dihydropyridine derivative. It is a racemate due to the presence of a chiral carbon atom at position 4 of the 1,4-dihydropyridine ring. Lercanidipine hydrochloride is a yellow amorphous powder, readily soluble in chloroform and methanol, practically insoluble in water. Octanol:water partition coefficient (LogP): 6.4. Each tablet contains 10 mg or 20 mg lercanidipine hydrochloride as the active ingredient. In addition, each tablet contains the following inactive ingredients: Cellulose – microcrystalline , lactose monohydrate, croscarmellose sodium, butylated hydroxytoluene, magnesium stearate, hypromellose, macrogol 8000, titanium dioxide, purified talc, yellow iron oxide (10 mg only) and red iron oxide (20 mg only). ` PHARMACOLOGY PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTIONS Lercanidipine is a calcium antagonist of the dihydropyridine group and selectively inhibits the transmembrane influx of calcium into cardiac and vascular smooth muscle, with a greater effect on vascular smooth muscle than on cardiac smooth muscle. The antihypertensive action is due to a direct relaxant effect on vascular smooth muscle which lowers total peripheral resistance and hence blood pressure. Lercanidipine has a prolonged antihypertensive activity because of its high membrane partition coefficient. It is devoid of negative inotropic effects and its vascular selectivity is due to its voltage dependent calcium antagonist activity. Since the vasodilatation induced by lercanidipine hydrochloride is gradual in onset, acute hypotension with reflex tachycardia has rarely been observ সম্পূর্ণ নথি পড়ুন
